Description

Every year, hundreds of millions of people travel by plane from one part of the world to another. Today people can eat, sleep, and watch movies on a plane. They can be in the air for hours. The first plane that ever flew had no cabin, no seats, two propellors, two wings and only a small engine. It stayed in the air for just 12 seconds!

Author description

Series editor and author of the Red Rocket reading program, Pam Holden has more than 30 years specialist experience in literacy. As a Reading Recovery teacher she has worked one-to-one with hundreds of children struggling with literacy. Pam's pupils have also included those approaching English as a second language, and children who are advanced and require extension. This experience has given the author a rare insight into the literacy process and has enabled her to identify many key elements that consistently block children's progress.
